Missing Birds Of A Feather already? Then you’re in luck, as ITV has already announced plans to make a second series.

The series, which was revived by the network 16 years after being shelved by the BBC, made its debut over the New Year period, with original co-stars Linda Robson, Pauline Quirke and Lesley Joseph all returning.

And it has proven so popular – pulling in average audiences of around 8m – that it’s now set to return.

‘We’re delighted Birds Of A Feather was such a success on ITV and really pleased to be asked to write another series,’ said co-creator Maurice Gran.

‘We hope the further adventures of Sharon, Tracey and Dorien will continue to thrill audiences young and old.’

The revival saw sisters Sharon and Tracey once again living under the same roof, joined by their former neighbour Dorien after she unexpectedly fell on hard times.
